Born in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1889 to Napoleon B Laughlin (1844-1924) and Katie Kimbrough Laughlin (1858-1944), she was educated at Colorado College and the Columbia School of Journalism. Following graduation, she became a writer for the Christian Science Monitor, The New York Times and various popular magazines.
Her interest and research into the history of the American Southwest led to her two best-known books: Caballeros (1931), which tells of the history, culture, and architecture of Santa Fe; and The Wind Leaves No Shadow (1948) about Santa Fe gambler La Tules. Both books are considered to be classics of Southwestern American literature.
